[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]IMO Pop-Punk is bands like Bouncing Souls, NOFX, Smash-era Offspring, earlier Green Day that's punk with pop hooks.
Power POp is the stuff you see on MTV like GC, Blink, Yellowcard, NFG that is really just pop with guitars.[/QUOTE]
Fari 'nough. Though I liked Blink's new CD :p

Don't forget Yellowcard has a violinist too :rolleyes:

Riv, you get brownie points in my book for even knowing who Sigur-Ros is.

On that note, I'll also have to add Soilwork, In Flames and Katatonia to my list.

And before you ask, no I can't read Icelandic. Its good even when its translated.

DetectiveMikeRS 11-24-2004 06:36 PM

My picks for some awesome songwriting talent would have to be:

-Rush
-The Eagles
-Fleetwood Mac
-Don Henley (solo)
-Peter Gabriel

I have also recieved much acclaim for my own songs and poems, [url]www.fictionpress.com/~mikesmale[/url] is were I post all of them if anyone's interested.

A_Perfect_Sonnet 11-24-2004 06:38 PM

rush had terrible lyrics, and geddy lee... *shivers*

You're songs are by no means terrible, I read a few of them, and they all seem like solid 8/10s. And congrats on the money too. But remember, people with some of the worst lyrics in the world top the charts, and get millions of dollars.

And (no jealousy here, cause I know I suck... but...) I would take one of APS's best songs over the few I read from you anyday.
